"Tell me everything that happened," Yelena requested, her cheek resting against Sascha's shoulder, her eyelids fluttering closed. "What did I miss?"
"Oh love," Sascha sighed. "So much." So, so much...
Moscow, Russia - Earth
2018
A Moscow hotel room. Casual, not too fancy. A good place to hide.
There was a faint click, one Nat would recognize anywhere: a gun. She felt said gun press into the back of her head.
"I wonder - is it possible for a spider to fall into another spider's web?" Unlike Nat, Sascha still had her strong accent. "Or what about a spider falling into their own web?" she continued to ponder aloud, gun still pressed to Natasha's head. "Natalia Romanova."

"You know why I'm here, Sascha." Nat crossed her arms.
"Do I? To come and rub in the death of the woman I love, which could have been prevented-"
